Well hello there

Wow, it has been a LONG time since I updated this thing. Since my last post I have had a baby, Ivy Noelle, who is such a sweetheart. I have also moved to Augusta, GA. We will only be here for 9 more months then it's packing and moving again, but hey, that's Army life for ya!

Many of my friends know that we use cloth diapers. It's economical, easy, and helps the environment. Well recently I decided I wanted to try converting our household cleaners into homemade ones for one or all of those same reasons.

 Right now I have lemon peels, lime peels, vinegar, water, and a bay leaf simmering on the stove. I got this idea from: Fountain Avenue Kitchen. She uses a mason jar with only vinegar and orange peels and lets it soak for 2 weeks, thus making the orange smell stronger than the vinegar. I didn't have oranges, but I had a lemon and lime available and decided to try speeding up the process by heating the mixture. Once it cooled a bit, I added it to a mason jar. I will let it sit overnight and see how it smells and how well it works for an all purpose cleaner.

I apologize for the low quality picture, but I can't seem to find my usb cable to hook my camera up to the computer so I had to use my cell phone :-/


Quiet time seems to be over for my son, so it's time to go. Thanks for reading and I WILL be adding more posts!
